Finally I am feeling better !!! Yippie!!!  I told Jamie he has something to do with it, and a part of that just might be true. So nice to have him home. I am enjoying the company in the evenings, although I am so tired these days, and he is used to working 14 hour days, we are off to bed early. 

I did hear from my doctor “Dick” on Thursday as he promised, ( surprise surprise ) all my cultures came back negative, and I am feeling better so I am supposed to get chemo on Tuesday. He told me someone would call on Thursday afternoon, to give me times. Of course no one called so I called the cross on Friday they assured me someone will call before Tuesday with a time, fingers crossed. As much as I don’t like the chemo I don’t want to have it put off to long, we got started pretty late I don’t want anything growing inside my body.  Also doctor “Dick” with be away with Justin  (Trudeau that is ) all next week so I hope someone else is covering my case. 

Did anyone else watch Grey’s Anatomy ? This last week ?  What a difficult story line for me to follow. Grey’s sister’s mother, had breast cancer and it was the whole routine of chemo, I swear they took a picture from the Cross where they do chemo. Even the chairs were the same color. Through to her treatments and trials all the things she tried to beat breast cancer, ” But” in the end she died. I cried like a baby as I watched that show. It was so real to life, and all the emotions of everyone. Very real story line. Just wondered what other people thought ?

Back to my chemo on Tuesday. This will be the first time Jamie will be coming with me. He dosent like needles or being picked or poked by doctors or nurses. Thus is going to be a real eye opener for him. When he see’s the red devil going into my body he will be surprised at the amount of chemical they really do put into a body with chemo. I hope he does ok, this is not for the faint of heart, which he is. Lol lol ❤️

Jamie is keeping me busy, he wants to get up and go somewhere everyday. I on the other hand have become quite weak and going out lots just is not going to happen. He got me out Thursday afternoon he even took me for supper, again Friday we did a little running around   but this morning he had a whole day planned lots of things to do. I decided to stay home in hopes that maybe tomorrow we can take a day trip again. Hopefully go out for a brunch. I can’t believe how weak this chemo has made me already. I am so tired all the time and after I do a few chores I need a nap. I try everyday to do as much as I can and stay awake all day, but I give in most days to a nap. I don’t see this improving anytime soon. 😊 I even got Jamie getting some groceries for us, while he was out today,he has really stepped up. Thanks babe. 😘

Today’s saying : it’s your road, and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.              So true 👍🏻
